Wancheng, the camp of the Chinese army.

Yuan Yin was pacing back and forth in the tent irritably, and in the sound of hurried footsteps, a small school rushed in.

"How, where did the Xiliang rebels go?"

Yuan Yin hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the little school and asked loudly.

The little colonel said happily: "General, the Xiliang rebels are going to the direction of Yuzhou." ”

Yuan Yin asked, "Have you ever plundered other counties?" ”

"No, I didn't."

The junior colonel replied: "The Xiliang rebels only robbed three Zhuangzi, and did not attack the city. According to the report of the scouts, the Xiliang rebels did not stop in Nanyang for more, but went north and went straight to Yuzhou. ”

"It shouldn't be!"

Yuan Yin said in confusion: "When did the Xiliang rebels talk so well, and they were willing to leave Nanyang obediently." ”

The little colonel hurriedly said: "The Xiliang rebels have no siege equipment, if they attack the city, they will be looking for death." The last general thought that the Xiliang rebels should have failed to sneak attack Wancheng, so they quickly whipped up and ran to Yuzhou to sneak attack Kong Lingdi's lair. ”

Yuan Yin thought about it and felt that there was some truth, but he was still a little uneasy.

"Let's explore again to see if the Xiliang rebels really went to Yuzhou."

Yuan Yin waved his hand, and the little colonel immediately took the order to retreat.

"Someone!"

Yuan Yin had just returned to the back of the case and sat down, when he suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly shouted outside the tent.

"What does the general command?"

Some of the soldiers had already heard the sound and marched in and stood under the tent.

Yuan Yin said: "The quick retribution went to the Tiger Prison Pass to inform the lord, and said that the Xiliang rebels went out of Wuguan to loot Nanyang, but they had been killed by the general, and now the Xiliang rebels have killed Yuzhou." ”

"Order."

The pro-soldiers received the general's order and hurriedly retreated.

Two days later, the scouts came with the news that the Xiliang rebels had really entered the territory of Yuzhou.

Yuan Yin breathed a sigh of relief and completely relieved, and at the same time was a little excited.

Yuzhou is densely populated, there are many heroes, and it is the hometown of the Yuan family, and the lord has long wanted to take it for himself, but he has never been able to find the opportunity. Now that the Xiliang rebels have entered Yuzhou, it is best to copy Kong Lingdi's nest, Kong Ling is very old, and he may be angry when he hears the bad news, it will be even better, and the lord can take over in the future.

However, it didn't last long before I received another piece of bad news the next day.

The 5,000 stone of military rations transported to Hugao Pass were looted at Bowangpo, and most of the military rations were burned.

"Damn the Yellow Turban Thief, I'm angry!"

After Yuan Yin heard the news, he almost burst his blood vessels.

The Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping Nanyang was the hardest hit area, although it was finally suppressed, but there were many remnants of the Yellow Turban who escaped into the mountains and forests and fell into the grass for the cowards, and ran out from time to time to plunder the county.

Although the government exterminated a few groups, there were still a few remnants of the Yellow Turban gathering in the mountains and forests to oppose the government.

After Yuan Shu entered Nanyang, the people were even more difficult, and countless people who couldn't survive had to fall into the grass, and the bandits were not reduced, but there were more and more bandits.

The junior colonel hurriedly asked, "General, what should I do now?" ”

Yuan Yin said angrily: "What should I do? Another 5,000 stone of military rations were transferred to Lao Tzu to send to the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

"Yes."

The little colonel didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly retreated.

Unexpectedly, three days later, the news came again.

As soon as the 5,000 stone military rations passed through Bowang County, they were robbed again, and more than 1,000 soldiers who escorted the grain and grass were also killed.

According to the soldiers who fled back, there were thousands of thieves who robbed the grain, and the bandits did not know where to get hundreds of weapons, and the soldiers were outnumbered, and more than 300 people were killed in the battle, and finally the bandits robbed the grain and grass.

If you can't take it away, you will also be burned by fire.

Yuan Yin was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and shouted: "Zhang Hu, what is he eating, why didn't he come to see me?" ”

The colonel whispered: "General, Lord Zhang Hu has died in battle!" ”

"It's good to die, it's really cheap!"

Yuan Yin's face turned pale: "Otherwise, General Ben would have to cut off his dog's head." ”

At this moment, a scribe hurriedly walked in and said, "General, the lord has sent someone to urge food again." ”

"General Ben knows."

Yuan Yin waved away irritably, pacing back and forth in the hall, cursing constantly, "This group of damn bandits, General Ben must have raided their lair and made them all cramp and skin, and he is angry with General Ben." ”

The colonel said cautiously: "General, it's not a way to go on like this!" If these bandits are not exterminated, our army's local grain transportation team may be robbed again, so please send troops to eliminate the bandits. ”

Yuan Yin said categorically: "Hurry up and gather the soldiers and horses, this general will personally kill these damn bandits without leaving a piece of armor." ”

"The last will obey."

The little school was in good spirits and hurriedly shouted the order.

The scribe next to him was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "General, don't do it!" Wancheng only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, if the general leads the troops to clear the bandits, Wancheng is insufficient, if the Xiliang rebels come back, it will be a big trouble. ”

Yuan Yin said disapprovingly: "Lord Chen, let's worry too much, the Xiliang rebels have already killed the nest of Kong Lingdi in Yuzhou, how can they come to Nanyang again?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Xiliang rebels come back, General Ben can rush back in time. ”

"This ......"

The scribe was speechless, but he still felt that it was very inappropriate, so he had to persuade him hard: "Think twice, general! ”

Yuan Yin waved his hand and said impatiently: "Lord Chen doesn't need to persuade again, General Ben has made up his mind." Moreover, this general cleared the bandits this time, and only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, leaving 1,000 soldiers and horses, and Wancheng was as safe as Mount Tai. ”

The scribe couldn't persuade him, so he sighed, and there was a faint worry in his heart.

Although the bandits in Nanyang often come out to rob grain counties, they usually rob passing merchants or landlords and manors at most, and rarely rob and kill the government's grain transportation team.

However, this time it was unusual, and robbed the government's grain transportation team twice, which is really a bit strange.

The scribe felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Yuzhou, Qian County.

Xu Jing was reading the official document in Yuzhou, and suddenly a little official rushed in crying wolf.

"My lord, it's not good!"

The little official rushed into the inner hall like a fly, and without waiting for Xu Jing's reprimand, he opened his voice and howled: "I just received a report from Lord Yingchuan Taishouyin, and a Xiliang cavalry has killed me. ”

Xu Jing was stunned, put down the brush and said unhappily: "Don't be kidding, how could the Xiliang rebels come to Yuzhou?" ”

The little official hurriedly said: "My lord, it's true, Yingchuan came to say that this group of Xiliang troops came from Nanyang and was burning and looting near Kunyang, which is simply brutal and outrageous, what should I do now?" ”

"The Xiliang Army really killed it?"

Xu Jing was taken aback, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground with a 'click'.

The little official took a breath, stomped his feet and said: "Of course it's true, such a big thing, how dare the subordinate lie about the military situation." ”

"It's broken, it's broken."

Xu Jing was shocked and stomped his feet again and again: "At present, all the soldiers in Yuzhou have been taken to the Tiger Prison Pass by Lord Shi Shi, the troops of Qiaoxian County are empty, and the rest are old and weak soldiers. ”

The little official was also shocked, and asked in a trembling voice, "How is this good?" ”

Xu Jing's face changed for a while, and he hurriedly said: "Quick, go and inform Captain Li, quickly transfer troops and horses from various counties, and then ask the big clans in the city to gather people to defend the city together." Sue those big clans, if Qian County is broken by the Xiliang army, they will not be able to escape. ”

"The subordinate obeys."

The little official didn't dare to be verbose, so he hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly.

In front of the Tiger Prison Pass, the camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army.

In the evening, after a one-day assault by the combined forces of the princes, they retreated ten miles and set up a siege to attack the city again the next day.

At night, Yuan Shu was just about to go to bed, when suddenly a small school opened the curtain and rushed in.

"Lord, something is wrong."

The little colonel's face was panicked, and he said quickly: "Just now, General Yuan Yin sent someone to report that a Xiliang rebel army came out of Wuguan and entered the territory of Nanyang, burning and looting, and the land of Nanyang was full of smoke. ”

"What?"

Yuan Shu was stunned, a little overwhelmed.

When he reacted, he jumped up from the collapse and said sharply: "What did you say? ”

The colonel had to repeat, "Just now, General Yuan Yin sent someone to report that a Xiliang rebel army came out of Wuguan and entered the territory of Nanyang. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"My lord? Lord? ”

The little colonel hurriedly called softly twice, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

"Ah, I'm angry!"

Yuan Shu yelled, "Dong Zhuo Pifu, you deceive people too much. ”

The junior colonel said cautiously: "My lord, right now, our army is fighting with the Xiliang army. ”

Yuan Shu came back to his senses at this time, "Uh, I almost forgot, hehe, how many Xiliang rebels have killed in Nanyang?" ”

The colonel replied: "There are about 8,000 Xiliang cavalry, all of whom are lightly armed and march without baggage. ”

Yuan Shu's face was relieved at this time, and he let out a long breath, and then he was furious, and reprimanded: "Only eight thousand Xiliang rebels, what is the fuss about, causing me to lose my temper, it is really a rice bucket, what should you be guilty of, huh?" ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Xiao choked, and some couldn't keep up with Yuan Shudi's rhythm.

Yuan Shu waved his hand disapprovingly, and scolded: "Wancheng still has 3,000 elite soldiers, and it has the advantage of a strong city, and there are only 8,000 Xiliang rebels, what can it be." Without siege equipment, could it be that the Xiliang rebels could still break through the city with cavalry? ”

The little colonel was stunned and said: "Lord, I'm afraid that the people of Nanyang will be slaughtered!" ”

Yuan Shu said disapprerovingly: "How can there be immortals in the war, as long as Wancheng is still there, my foundation is not lost, what is the point of dying a few people, and when the tiger prison is broken and Luoyang is entered, the Xiliang rebels will naturally break themselves." ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao's mouth moved, and then he sighed secretly, and did not persuade again.

Yuan Shu saw that the little colonel did not retreat, and asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”

The colonel replied: "General Yuan Yin sent someone to report that the Xiliang rebels attacked Wancheng unsuccessfully, and went to Yuzhou?" ”

"Kill Ben Yuzhou? Uh, okay, hehe, great. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned at first, and then his face was happy, "It's good to kill, it's wonderful!" Haha, Kong Ling's old puppet has never given General Ben face, and General Ben has long wanted to take away his land Yuzhou, but it is not good to invade each other. The Xiliang rebels went to Yuzhou to burn and loot, so they did General Ben a great favor, hehe, it's better to copy Kong Ling's old lair, it would be better. ”

Although Xiao Xiao felt that the lord was a little immoral, he did not persuade him again.
